Corporations are entering the renewables market in force, and they will find much to like in the community-scale solar market.

Energy market rule maker agrees to new rule that may allow for more battery storage to keep the system steady as wind and solar replace coal and gas. But another crucial request, from the COAG energy ministers, is rejected, reinforcing the market dominance of the existing big players.

Simon Hackett named CEO of Redflow, adding to roles as chairman and biggest shareholder – ahead of first delivery of ZCell residential batteries.

Traders are playing a short game on the futures market, which seems high risk given Victoria's renewable energy ambitions and questions over future of major smelter. And a question over Redflow battery storage maker.

Renewable energy certificates edge closer to penalty price and the point of no new generation.

The great global race against time has very much begun now. The US and China ratify Paris deal, capital flow shift, China cancels nuclear plant and even conservative press hails transition to sun, wind and water within a generation.

CCA report on government's emissions targets ignores the carbon budget, is politically expedient, and brushes aside concern about current measures. Worst, it ignores the science.

As ARENA hangs in the balance, a $20m Seed Fund has been launched via Clean Energy Innovation Fund to back early-stage clean energy technology, R&D.

Mojo Power says combination of solar and storage means that current energy utility business models cannot survive, because power stations will be "blown into a thousand fragments" and fuel will be effectively free.

Australian network pricing policy is increasingly dysfunctional. At minimum, it's a barrier to innovation and progress. At its worst it means inefficient, high cost electricity. So can we fix it?

Alinta looking at installing one of world's largest battery storage arrays to displace cost of gas it uses for back-up in the Pilbara.

Years of controversy over carbon pricing has both major parties scared of any policy seen to raise electricity prices. The CCA seems to have taken this political situation as a starting point.
